Following the detailed account of the 2025 harvest, here's the video edited by Réjane. Full of memories to brighten up the winter settling over the Médoc. We'll soon be starting pruning, but that's a story for another day…

Grape harvest at Château Papounan

A green basket filled with black grapes, with red pruning shears placed in the middle of the Château Papounan vineyards.

It was just before 8 a.m. when we began our third harvest at Château Papounan. The morning was cool, typical of autumns in the Médoc, but the sun quickly warmed our rows of vines. The timing was perfect – a week after the Médoc Marathon, the ideal weekend to harvest our grapes.
